I’m always skinny-shamed by people who always claim I should ‘eat more’ – maybe the issue is they should scoff less?
A WOMAN has hit back at people who skinny-shame her and say she should eat more food.
In a clip which has racked up over 58,000 likes, Yelena gave a sassy response to criticism she receives.
She replied to a comment she had received that said: “You should eat more.”
Yelena seemed unbothered in the clip and held up a burger as she wrote on her @yelenalala account: “And you need to eat less.”
She added that “body shaming needs to stop” and said in the caption: “‘leave me alone, I don’t do anything, i don’t say anything.”
Yelena also joked: “Sorry my waist is too tiny for me to be the bigger person.”
It wasn’t the only critical comment she has been sent on TikTok.
The social media user also replied to one which claimed she is “underweight.”
Yelena responded: “If they try and shame and call you underweight just ask them this, ‘whose weight am I under?’
“Yours? I’d hope so.”
She added: “Funny because I’ve been to see doctors who were obese themselves, focus on you babe, I’m happy & healthy and only listen to my body.”
People were quick to take to the comments, and many defended her.
One wrote: “you look healthy to me. people have a problem with everything.”
Another added: “a lot of ppl are making fun of me for being skinny but i dont care bec i am prob heather then they are.”
And a third commented: “You’re such an icon for this!”
